They should have a 'rock on' emoticon, because that says it all.

I think my board space is full after this one:

Teese Wizard Wah
Shannon Distortion
Boss SD-1
Fulltone Fulldrive II
Boss Tu-2
MXR phase 90
Boss DD-3
Traynor footswitch.

    That's some solid gear Matt, quite the classy pedal board. :D:)

    I decided not to go to work because....

    My UPS tracking number says it's out for delivery.

    NOW THAT's dedication!

    haha. (on the UPS thing)

    i'm curious to see how close it is to the SD-1 as far as the ground it covers. you may find the SD-1 redundant.

    which of course frees up a space for more pedals. :D

    yeah. Awesome matt.

    have fun with it. I too am interested to see if the SD1 and or Shannon make it off the board.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    I would do the same thing, except skip school.

    Haha, that's how I work during September - April.

    I never told anyone I wasn't going in to work. They probably don't even notice I'm not there.

    I'll go in later and work the evening.

    Ok, pedals here.

    I haven't plugged it in yet, but here's the first thing I noticed.

    It's totally mint, even though I bought it from the musictoyz used section for super cheap. The pic and despcription they offered was of an older Fulldrive with the push/pull comp-cut.

    This one has it all on the toggle. It has to be a '04 or '05.

    Sweet.

    the label on the bottom should be dated with month and year.

    February 2006.

    I have a feeling someone goofed and did not send me a used one.

    Anyways, I was looking for a nice OD to compliment my strat mainly, and this thing does it and then some.

    It's just full of live Pearl Jam tones.

    yeah the guy from Ten Band that is Mikey's compliment uses a Rockerverb 50 head and a Fulldrive with a strat and he nails it.

    If people will buy my BR 532 and DL4 and I manage to sell my DD I'd like to compare the new red orange mosfet Fulldrive and the Barber Tone Pump EQ.

    More of a Mike tone than anything. Ed's is easy to kind of replicate. I would need a tele, but just the clean channel cranked up, and I bet the FM mode with minimal gain just boosting the amp would do it. THe FM mode has more highs and lows, and not a whole lot of mids.

    The vintage mode through the clean amp with the gain at about midway gives very tube od, midrangey tones. Think Down, Marker in the sand type stuff.

    The pedal also has far more gain than they let on. Crank that up about 3/4 of the way and it's perfect for lead. The boost function varies depending on what mode you're using. On the vintage mode I find it adds sustain and not a whole lot of volume. It really allows for controlled feedback.

    So is it a keeper for you or no?

    I've always wanted to try one those.

    I know you posted that you got it with your Strat in mind, but have you tried Humbuckers?

    Would love to hear it if you get a chance. Shows us how she drives!
